MINOR

This bill clarifies that condominium associations can keep rental income collected before a foreclosure commissioner is appointed, while still being required to turn over income collected after that appointment.

Additionally, the effective date of the law was updated from the year 3000 to 2050.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly include rental income used for the benefit of the unit owner in the remittance requirement, whereas previously it only specified income for the association's benefit.

REQUIREMENT

Expanded the requirement to remit rental income to include funds used for the benefit of the unit owner, not just the association.

TIMELINE

Updated the effective date of the legislation from July 1, 3000, to July 1, 2050.

DEFINITION

Clarified that associations retain income received prior to a commissioner's appointment, provided they remit income received after that appointment.
